A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared-off terminals and a predominantly monoline feel. Strokes are thick and consistent, with blunt, rectangular serifs and flat endings that create a strong, blocky silhouette. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while joins and corners read crisp and engineered, giving letters a compact, stable stance. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike forms with single-storey a and g, and the numerals are solid and highly legible with squared curves and firm horizontal/vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a strong, workmanlike voice is needed. It also performs well for labels, signage, and short blocks of text that benefit from high impact and clear letterforms at medium to large sizes.
The tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking vintage signage, tools, and mechanical labeling. Its blunt slabs and squared terminals project confidence and straightforwardness rather than delicacy, with a distinctly retro, print-forward flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with clear, no-nonsense forms—combining slab-serif authority with square-cut finishing for a durable, industrial look that holds up in display and emphasis settings.
The design favors strong horizontals and verticals, and even the rounded letters retain a squared tension, which helps maintain a consistent rhythm in all-caps and mixed-case settings. The heavy weight and robust serifs create prominent word shapes and a pronounced texture in paragraph samples.
